ingredients
Muffins
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon edible lavender, ground to a fine powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
- 2 large eggs

Method
Muffins
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 and line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners. Spray the liners lightly with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, orange juice, sour cream, milk, orange extract and vanilla extract, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3
Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling them full. Bake for about 17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
ingredients
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- edible lavender and coarse Turbinado sugar, for garnish
Glaze
Step 1
Mix the powdered sugar, granulated sugar, corn syrup, milk and orange extract until smooth, then spoon over the hot muffins. Immediately sprinkle the tops with a little lavender and coarse sugar. The icing will set in about 10-15 minutes.
Step 2
Note that the leftover muffins are delicious, but the glaze will get wet and sticky once they're put away in a container, so these are best served fresh.
